On the battlefield.
Gu Qing Shan assumed a defensive stance.
— — I'm currently Li Jiu, and I don't have any means to defend against soul attacks, so how am I supposed to fight against the Soul Shrieker?
"The highest-ranked, the Soul Shrieker has already returned to Primal Chaos, how can it still come out?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
This was something I saw with my own eyes.
If that could also be revived, that would be ridiculous.
The highest-ranked replied: "A few Apocalypses who wielded the power of Primal Chaos managed to intercept its soul halfway and took it for their own use"
Gu Qing Shan swung her fist to send several riders flying.
He then asked: "Then these riders in front of me — –"
"They are monsters manifested from the Mystery of the Apocalypse, they aren't real entities" the highest-ranked replied.
Gu Qing Shan's mind slowly became clear, so she assumed a stance and unleashed a barrage of lightning punches at the riders.
In just a few moments, quite a few riders were turned into corpses on the spot, unable to move anymore.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered as she looked towards the edge of the battlefield.
Only to see the Soul Shrieker casually grabbing the soldiers on the battlefield and absorbing their souls.
Its male voice was confused: "Strange, what I'm absorbing isn't souls …"
The female voice followed up: "But it can indeed help us absorb power … how strange"
— — -the Soul Shrieker was still completely clueless about the current situation.
Gu Qing Shan was silently thinking of countermeasures.
All of a sudden, a line of glowing text appeared on the gloomy War Order UI:
[Sequence members, the current situation on the battlefield has become increasingly grim]
[In response to the Apocalypse's isolation of the Sequences, the Sequences are currently adopting countermeasures]
[The Demon Emperor has begun to awaken]
[— — -the power of the Demon Emperor will soon be bestowed upon the Sequences]
[The power of the Demon Emperor will greatly increase the strength of the Sequences]
[Current summoning range:]
[All officers of Senior Colonel rank and above]
[Begin!]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
The power of the Demon Emperor?
As expected, the three One Man Ten Thousand Lives Technique had awakened the Demon Emperor.
If the Demon Emperor era civilization could distribute the power of the Demon Emperor to the Sequence holders, they would not be underestimated on the battlefield.
As he was thinking, he saw his left hand trembling uncontrollably.
The Highest Sequence interface began to inquire.
[The War Order is using your left hand to perform a reverse summoning]
[This interface can cut off this kind of summoning. Do you want to cut it off?]
"No" Gu Qing Shan said.
Now, I just have to wait and see how powerful the Demon Emperor really is.
He calmly retreated and observed his left hand at the same time.
A deep voice suddenly came from his left hand.
"Bestowing success."
Numerous runes appeared on his arm and instantly gathered into a line.
The chaotic rune lines gradually solidified and turned into thin tentacles that were connected to the arms.
One end of these tentacles was connected to Gu Qing Shan's hand, while the other end disappeared into the void of space.
Lines of text appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan's eyes:
[Attention]
[You have connected to the spirit of the Demon Emperor]
[The spirit of the Demon Emperor will increase your strength according to the situation of the battle]
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
At this point, a cavalryman caught up and raised his spear towards Gu Qing Shan's neck — — -
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and sent him flying with a bolt of lightning.
The cavalryman was instantly killed.
At the very next split second.
Several of the tentacles on Gu Qing Shan's arm abruptly flew out and pierced into the cavalryman and the skeletal horse.
Squeak — — squeak — — squeak — — -
The sound of something sucking could be heard.
The cavalryman and the horse instantly turned to dust and fell to the ground.
The tentacles weren't willing to give up, so they reached out and devoured all the corpses on the ground.
Gu Qing Shan's presence abruptly increased, becoming several times stronger.
He tried to throw a punch forward.
Hundreds of lightning balls shot out from his fists, and like falling meteors, they bombarded the cavalry that was chasing after him.
The power of his fist technique had also been strengthened!
"… A bit similar to that time on the Asura battlefield" Gu Qing Shan silently speculated.
At the time, a single person used [Myriad Life] to transform into a snake-like monster and devoured all the corpses on the battlefield.
— — -if it weren't for the urgent situation right now, the Era of the Demon Emperor probably wouldn't have summoned the Era Spirit.
If that was the case, I wouldn't have the chance to peek into the secret of this technique.
Gu Qing Shan's mind was quickly moving, feeling that the secret of that single person's [Myriad Life] technique was getting closer and closer to me.
However, there was still one more obstacle to overcome.
He glanced at the Soul Shrieker from afar, only to see that it had noticed the commotion on his side and was quickly approaching.
Gu Qing Shan raised his hand — — -
A blinding bolt of lightning descended from above, sent flying by his punch, then turned into a giant pillar of lightning that shot straight towards the Soul Shrieker.
『「 Lightning? I hate people who use lightning』」 the Soul Shrieker shouted.
It stretched out its hands and blocked the lightning bolts that were flying towards it.
Boom!!!
The pillar of lightning exploded from the Soul Shrieker's hands, dancing erratically and turning into countless snakes of lightning.
『「 You want to win against me with such power?』」 the Soul Shrieker spoke with its tyrannical male voice.
Its female voice spoke with a sharp and malicious tone: 『「 Li Jiu, regardless of who you are, there will only be one outcome for you right now, and that is — —』」
The Soul Shrieker opened its mouth, about to speak with that voice.
In the blink of an eye, all the lightning in the sky converged and manifested into a giant gate that abruptly opened.
Various lightning creatures manifested.
They all swarmed forward and attacked the Soul Shrieker.
Thunder Fury Gauntlets, Secret Art [Surge Lightning]!
[Surge Lightning: Your attacks may open up a Lightning Phase Realm, summoning living beings of lightning from within to fight for you]
The Soul Shrieker didn't expect this to happen, so before it could even scream, its mouth was already blocked by a flying fish that gave off lightning.
It couldn't help but spit out the fish, stood still, and continued to parry the attacks of the living beings of lightning.
At the same time — —
The tentacles on Gu Qing Shan's left hand abruptly began to dance in a frenzy.
"It's no longer under my control!"
Gu Qing Shan quickly sent her voice.
A line of explanation appeared on the highest-ranking UI: [These tentacles are only under the Demon Emperor's control, you never had the authority to control them]
The countless tentacles quickly spread out and engulfed the entire battlefield.
Dead corpses and heavily wounded soldiers who couldn't move were pierced through by the tentacles, their flesh and soul were absorbed, then turned to ash.
Following that, the remaining soldiers who were still alive were also swept away by the tentacles.
Endless power flowed into Gu Qing Shan's body through the tentacles.
His presence rose again and again — — -
The power manifested as a solid halo of light that circled around his body.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
Indeed.
These tentacles came from the owner of the [Myriad Life Technique], a part of the Demon Emperor.
While I — — -
I'm only a vessel for it to gather power.
Even if I can temporarily borrow this power!
On the other side of the battlefield.
All the living beings of lightning abruptly scattered.
The Soul Shrieker continued to stride towards Gu Qing Shan.
"Your soul will be my food. Now, after you hear my scream," Meng Hao said coldly.
「 Aaaah — — — — 」
It let out a howl that echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised and was about to retreat when a line of crimson text appeared:
[No need to worry]
[Your soul is now under the protection of the Demon Emperor's spirit]
[Furthermore, you've been fighting for a very long time, during this process, quite a few high-ranking Beyonders have died in battle]
Gu Qing Shan looked down.
The tentacles on her left hand quickly manifested into a wall that blocked in front of her.
Standing behind this wall, the Soul Shrieker's voice could no longer be heard.
The rest of the tentacles were like snakes, constantly probing the void.
All of a sudden, the tentacles abruptly pierced through the void of space and pulled out a corpse from somewhere.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan glanced over, she felt that he looked a bit familiar.
— — -indeed, I saw this person on the stone platform before.
He was a Major General of the Diablo Sequence!
From the looks of it, he had already been killed by the Apocalypse.
The tentacles attached themselves to this Major General's arm, absorbed all the tentacles from his arm, and swept through the Major General's corpse — — -
The corpse was instantly reduced to ash.
Gu Qing Shan felt herself becoming stronger by several levels.
"How terrifying …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.
Three [One Person Ten Thousand Lives] techniques to summon the Demon Emperor.
At this point, the Demon Emperor had begun to borrow the power of the Beyonders to devour all living beings, even Beyonders who had died in battle.
Gu Qing Shan was certain that as soon as the Demon Emperor needed it, this so-called Senior Colonel like her would be completely absorbed by the Demon Emperor.
— — -if the Demon Emperor could endlessly devour all living beings, who could possibly be his opponent?
Gu Qing Shan looked towards the Soul Shrieker from afar, only to see the tentacles on her arm all standing up, pointing at the Soul Shrieker.
— — they were extremely interested in the Soul Shrieker.
